Bedford, Nh - The landmark Bedford mall is currently under a major reconstruc-tion. Tfmoran Inc. of Bedford was hired to plan, engineer and permit its rehabilitation. The mall has continually served the greater Bedford and manchester communities since it opened in 1963. In 2007, Emmes Asset management company llc bought the ail-ing property.

construction began in November 2010 on both a new building for Staples and a major renovation of the existing structure for marshalls. Both tenants are now in their new spaces which allowed the comple-tion of the demolition of approximately 180,000sf of the existing main mall build-ing. Bob’s Stores, outback Steakhouse, K milan Salon and michael’s School of hair Design will remain in their current spaces. A new 90,000sf Kohl’s department store, a junior anchor and several in-line spaces will be built in its place.

In addition to architecture, there were two other primary issues that needed to be addressed in order to get a timely approval. “we needed to be sensitive to the residential abutters”, said chris Rice, project manager for Tfmoran Inc., “Screening along the property lines and restrictions on delivery and pick up hours helped to preserve the

residential neighborhood.” “we wanted to give this center a fresh,

new look that harmonized with the historic New England architecture of Bedford, while meeting the needs of our new and existing retail tenants,” said Emmes Senior Vice president, Bill Bond. To that end, the build-ings incorporate many materials used locally including brick, stone and simulated cedar shakes, as well as, simulated chimneys and a clock.

Another concern was stormwater management. The existing site was almost entirely comprised of pavements and build-ings, with no modern stormwater treatment because of the property’s age. In order to obtain a state stormwater permit, Tfmo-ran worked closely with the NhDES (New hampshire Department of Environmental Services) to develop a combination of me-chanical and environmental treatment mea-sures for the stormwater. The environmen-tal treatment included both bio-retention swales and tree filters. TFM’s landscape architects developed a plan using mostly in-digenous plantings, that will help filter out contaminants from the runoff, thus helping the health of the watershed.

The project will be substantially com-pleted by late 2011.

Sutton, mA - The town of Sutton re-cently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Sutton middle/high School renovation and addition project. In attendance were state and local officials; owner’s project manager Jon winikur, project director; and principal Duncan mcclelland of flans-burgh Architects, the architect-of-record for this project.

TLT Construction Corp, Wakefield is the general contractor.

flansburgh’s approved design calls for a 125,000sf addition and renovates the athletics and science facilities in the most recently constructed portion of the existing high school.

The older structures will be demol-ished to make way for the addition to bring

the school up to 175,000sf. This approach was the most cost-

effective of the options studied and satisfies the requirements for site sustainability, wa-ter conservation, reduced energy use, wise use of materials, and a high level of indoor environmental quality.

The new 125,000sf addition will in-clude a 500-seat auditorium, a new middle school gymnasium, classrooms, science labs, and a cafeteria.

construction is phased so that the school remains fully functional with ap-propriate safety for students and staff dur-ing the process, and is expected to be fully completed in time for the start of the school year in September 2014.

groundbreaking for School Addition flansburgh Architect, TlT gccambridge, mA - Steve wilkes, di-

rector of harry R. feldman’s 3D program, is part of a grant awarded by the National center for preservation Training and Tech-nology to perform laser scanning of the longfellow house in cambridge, general george washington’s headquarters during the siege of Boston.

Along with archaeologists from Brown University and the NpS, wilkes will work on integration of ground-pene-trating radar and other geophysical surveys with the laser-scanned data as part of the continuing cutting edge work integrating 3D data both above and below ground to help understand and successfully manage our country’s heritage.

There will be a graduate level work-shop on August 20-25 and a professional development day on october 21 for those interested in learning about the technology, methods for application to standing structures, and their surrounding environment, and find-ings.

concord, Nh – meridian construction has started repoint-ing the exterior masonry on the New hampshire State house, Legislative Office Building, and Tax Revenue Building.

meridian will be focusing on repointing the exterior ma-sonry of the three buildings, doing some minor wood restorations to the State house portico, repaint-ing and recaulking the windows at the Legislative Office Build-ing, and minor window and re-pair work on the north face of the Tax Revenue Building. The project will be similar to work currently being performed by meridian at the N.h. State li-brary.

The State house, which was originally built back in the

early 19th century, is composed of native New hampshire granite, and will require a mortar mix comprised of lime and sand. The legislative of-fice Building, which had previously been used as a post office and court-house from 1889 to 1967, will require a different kind of approach because its primary building mate-rial is slate stone. The Tax Revenue Building, an old brick structure with cast stone cornices, will re-quire a separate repoint-ing schedule as well.

The project is ex-pected to be completed around mid-october.

Brunswick, mE - groundbreaking was re-cently held at the former Brunswick Naval Air Sta-tion for a new research and manufacturing facil-ity for molnlycke health-care. The groundbreaking represented the first new construction project in the civilian redevelopment at the base now named Bruns-wick landing.

Designed by architecture and engineer-ing firm Harriman, the new 79,000s state-of-the-art facility will house a clean room pro-duction area, a two-story office wing, and warehouse. A viewing walkway provides visitors a glimpse into the manufacturing processes. The exterior skin of the building is comprised of aluminum sandwich panels in a variety of textures and colors, and the in-viting curtainwall façade is punctuated with a bold entrance leading into a vibrant two-story lobby. clean lines and warm materials pro-vide a European feel to interior spaces. The building layout and structure are configured for ease of expansion.

The mechanical system is designed to help protect the clean room from contami-

nants with positive air pressure flowing from the space. Transition spaces maintain air pressure with interlocking high-speed roll-up doors, and all surfaces are durable and clean-able. The clean room also feature a walk-able ceiling that segregates mechanical and electrical systems from the space for ease of service and further protection of vital produc-tion processes. A system of fans and damp-ers operates to cool the compressor room and to recover the compressor heat for building heating use when practical.

molnlycke, a global manufacturer of long-term wound care products, is headquar-tered in Sweden and is expanding its reach into the US market. It’s expected that the new facility will create more than 100 jobs.

construction is expected to be com-pleted in 12 months.

by Brendan AhernIn today’s economy we

hear all the time, “gold is up!” And we read articles titled, “why you NEED to be holding gold.” It’s everywhere. So, if you have gold right now what would you do with it? You cer-tainly wouldn’t leave your gold bars lying around in the back-yard or out on the patio, would you? Someone would surely come by and take them!

If you’re a manager, vice president, or small business owner, chances are that you are sitting on a pile of gold. That gold is your top personnel. Just like gold, your top personnel are a highly valued com-modity. perhaps they have been with your company or under your employ for many years and in your mind they always will be. They make you feel safe; they’re a known entity and they’re valuable to your day-to-day operations.

As the economy starts to slowly pick up we are finding that candidates who have been gainfully employed (those top-level gold employees) are starting to peek their heads out and inquire about the status of the current market. with credit easing and new work breaking, people are naturally beginning to feel better about their pros-pects for the future.

what I tell my clients is simple: “Hold your gold.” We find that more than anything else, what employees want is to be cared for and to feel that their hard work is being recognized. This does not have to

come in the form of money!I advise my clients to come

up with a list of the people within their organization who they abso-lutely do not want to lose under any circumstances. Then I have them create an action plan laying out how they’re going to make sure those people are happy and fulfilled at work. This is not near-ly as hard and time-consuming as it may sound. It involves simply taking the time to sit with these

people, once a month, making sure they un-derstand that the company is behind them and recognizes their dedication and hard work. Then, ask the employee how they feel about the job. That’s it.

Everyone can look back on their lives and remember times when someone took a moment to tell them they’re appreciated. It feels great, it creates good will, and most importantly, it strengthens the relationship between the two parties. It’s all about com-munication. And remember, it costs an em-ployer nothing but a few minutes of their time.

So, take a look around your organiza-tion and assess your current staff. Then put together a game plan for keeping your top people productive and loyal. Because, af-ter all, it’s a lot easier to hold on to the gold you already have than to go pan for more after you’ve lost it.

Boston - Ebenezer Baptist church is a historic church in Boston’s South End. Pyne Construction first worked with the church in 2001 to provide extensive histor-ical renovations of its existing sanctuary. In the spring of 2009, pyne was called on to provide additional construction services for the renovation of approximately 5,000sf in the church’s lower level.

Economic difficulties delayed the ac-tual start of the project until January of 2011. Throughout that delay, pyne continued to work with the church building committee and its project manager, Dan Bumagin, to value engineer the project, as costs were constantly changing.

work proceeded to demolish the ex-isting function area and to build out a new

trustee’s Office, Sunday school area, food and service facility, and church hall.

In addition to all interior finishes, pyne altered the existing heating sys-tems, installed new commercial kitchen, standard plumbing, and upgraded the electrical systems.

The project team included pyne construction as the contractor, Studio g as the architects, Dan Bumagin as the owner’s representative, and the trustees of Ebenezer Baptist church.

hamden, cT - hoffmann Architects, an architecture and engineering firm spe-cializing in the rehabilitation of building exteriors, has been selected within the past month for on-call contracts with the State of connecticut Department of public works, the New York State University construc-tion Fund, the New York State Office of general Services, and the city University of New York.

The State of connecticut Depart-ment of public works (Dpw) designated Hoffmann Architects as on-call roofing consultant. for over 30 years, hoffmann has worked with the Dpw, under both term agreements and individual project con-tracts.

with a diverse building portfolio that includes a wide variety of roof systems, the DPW specifically sought architecture and engineering firms with technical knowl-edge of various low- and steep-slope roof assemblies, as well as experience in water-proofing design and installation.

The New York State University con-struction fund chose hoffmann to provide design and construction administration ser-vices for roofing and exterior envelope re-pairs and alterations in the southern region of the state.

projects under the three-year term agreement may include replacement or

repair of roofs, façades, windows, doors, parapets, soffits, skylights, and other ex-terior envelope elements. The southern re-gion includes nine State University of New York campuses.

The New York State Office of Gen-eral Services (ogS) awarded hoffmann an on-call contract to provide design services involving the building envelopes of various state-owned properties. Under the five-year term agreement, the company will be as-signed exterior envelope projects by ogS on an as-needed basis.

Stratford, cT - Tighe & Bond re-cently completed the environmental clean-up and restoration of long Beach west, marking the end of a two-year long project aimed at protecting a critical piece of con-necticut’s shoreline for people, wildlife, plants, and fish.

Although the habitat restoration is an ongoing effort, the hazardous materials and debris that littered this picturesque 35-acre barrier beach are gone; the demolition of more than 60 abandoned, deteriorating buildings is complete; and habitat restora-tion is well on its way.

Tighe & Bond played a key role in pcB investigation, remediation design, and cleanup oversight since 2009 when the USF&W first hired the firm to oversee the long Beach west cleanup.

A fire destroyed the bridge that con-nected the beach and peninsula with the city of Bridgeport in 1996. Dilapidated structures posed a safety hazard while debris, trash, contaminants, and outdated septic systems littered the site. pcBs had been released into the environment through deterioration and weathering of industrial grade paint on one of the buildings, and subsequently, paint chips were released into the environment.

As part of the remediation plan for this site, Tighe & Bond developed the in-vestigation and cleanup approach under state and federal pcB cleanup regulations.

The firm also negotiated cleanup

goals with the Environmental protection Agency (EpA) and the connecticut De-partment of Environmental protection (cTDEp), as well as managed the hazard-ous materials abatement and demolition of pcB-impacted buildings and cleanup of impacted sand. Buildings needed to be demolished and disposed of as a Toxic Substance control Act waste, as well as the impacted sand.

Tighe & Bond submitted a Self-Implementing cleanup plan to EpA and cTDEp for approval under an expedited basis.

High-Profile Cover Story: Griswold Middle School

griswold middle School: combining the old

with the New The original griswold middle

School was constructed in the 1930s as a high school facility. Since then, it served as an intermediate school, and finally, the middle school.

while the renovation project at griswold middle School doubled the fa-cility’s size and encompassed many new, energy-efficient technologies, a great deal of effort was made by Kaestle Boos Associates, BVh Integrated Services, and fIp construction to preserve many of the historic characteristics of the origi-nal facility.

photovoltaic solar panels were in-stalled on the white membrane roof to help generate electricity to power the energy-efficient lighting in the restored auditorium, with wood beams running across the ceiling and a code compliant balcony area. Through the numerous ef-ficiency updates, including heat recovery units, high-efficiency lighting units, and water conservation fixtures, the existing boiler plant is supporting the entire build-ing, both new and existing, without add-ing to or replacing the existing boilers.

And outside, drought resistant land-scaping was incorporated into the site, while brick and masonry were selected to match the existing building envelope to provide a seamless integration of past and present architecture.

Jewett city, cT - fIp construction, Inc., Kaestle Boos, and BVh Integrated Services, Inc. have been working on the campus of both the griswold Elementary and middle Schools in Jewett city over the past three years. The phased construc-tion required keeping two active occupied schools in operation during the $60 million plus improvements.

The project is about three to four weeks ahead of schedule due to fIp’s ability to find efficiencies in the schedule, accord-ing to school building committee chairman frank Everett.

he said the griswold middle School renovations, completed in 2010, came in $1.8 million under budget.

The $35 million Elementary School multi-phase, multi-expansion project, with nearly 130,000sf of new space, basically created a new state-of-the-art school on the

site of the exist-ing school. The project consist-ed of new class-rooms, media center, science labs, media library, cafeteria, and gymnasium. There were also significant site improvements at the athletic fields and hardscape. The project included a geothermal heating and cooling design integrated into the project with bore field in the athletic fields.

The $28 million middle School was the initial project of two adjacent schools to be expanded and renovated. careful extrac-tion of hazardous materials at the inception

of the project was required from this turn-of-the-century building.

The project consisted of adding near-ly 75,000sf and renovating over 40,000sf in phases. All of the newly added and renovat-ed classrooms were made state of the art.

The project also contained a new me-dia center, auditorium, science labs, cafete-ria, and gymnasium. The project required replacement all new mEp systems. The building envelope was improved to better thermal values and energy efficiency.

dedicated classrooms for lectures and case study programs, and technology labs.

“The planning process for this ex-pansion requires a thoughtful and imagina-tive approach that considers the college’s importance within the campus framework and its vision for creating a true center for innovation,” said Deborah poodry, special advisor for capital and space planning at Umass lowell.

The study consists of analyzing sites on the university’s north campus that will strengthen the college of management’s identity while reinforcing the collaborative, inter-disciplinary relationship with Umass lowell’s college of Engineering.

methuen, mA - holy family hospital recently celebrated the completion of its new modern,

state-of-the-art emergency center with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The new 24,000sf emergency cen-ter, nearly doubling the hospital’s emergen-cy center capacity, will offer improved ef-ficiency, comfort, and privacy for patients and families from the greater merrimack Valley and southern New hampshire. The facility includes:

• Thirty-two private treatment rooms, each equipped with a computer for the clinical team, a personal TV, and indi-vidual climate controls.

• Double-bay trauma room, where even before a critically injured patient ar-rives at the hospital, paramedics are com-municating with the hospital’s team so they can provide treatment immediately upon a patient’s arrival, which can save lives.

• Double cardiac bay, where the hos-pital’s team can assemble in advance of a patient’s arrival and prepare to provide the appropriate treatment when minutes matter most.

• Rapid medical evaluation, where individuals with non-life-threatening inju-ries can be evaluated and treated in a timely manner.

• Dedicated diagnostic equipment with a 64-slice cT scanner and digital ra-diographic imaging capability offered right in the center.

• EMS lounge, where the hospital’s care partners can continue their work be-tween emergency calls in a comfortable, private environment.

The new emergency center is designed to serve up to 54,000 people annually.

lester p. Schindel, president of holy family hospital, and Ralph de la Torre, chief executive officer of Steward Health care System llc, pointed out that the new emergency center project was delivered on

time and on budget. The construction team collaborated

from the outset through completion of construction to closely monitor both bud-get and schedule to ensure the hospital’s expectations were met. This collaboration included working closely with hospital facilities staff to ensure existing hospital systems were never comprised.

Boston, mA - payette recently moved into its new corporate headquarters at 290 congress Street on Atlantic wharf in Boston.

with this move, payette transitioned its former five-story office into a single open-floor plate. Designed internally, the office is surrounded by windows with city and waterfront views and an abundance of natural light.

The new highly flexible layout sup-ports open collaboration and reflects a re-newed culture. It was also designed with the intention of achieving lEED gold.

The internal design team chose to use “dinner-table” style works stations in lieu of assembled cubicles.

The lack of partitions encourages

collaboration and supports the important concept of transparency and openness. The central design element is the reconfigurable open pin-up alcoves along the interior side of the open studio.

High-Profile Feature: Jay Peak Resort

Jay, VT - construction is well under way for Jay peak Resort’s new 273,000sf hotel Jay conference center and The

pump house Indoor waterpark. DEw construction corp. of willi-

ston is the construction manager. The new 230,000sf hotel Jay will be

a much improved, updated version of its namesake – home to 130 suites (which, in-cluding lockouts, translates into 176 rooms) and much needed conference space.

Designed by Black River Design of montpelier, the hotel includes retail space housing a brick oven pizzeria, an elegant restaurant with sweeping views, a coffee shop, outdoor pool, fitness center, and a virtual reality arcade. A below-ground connector will connect to adjacent build-ings at the Jay peak Tram Base area.

The 43,000sf pump house Indoor Waterpark will be the first indoor water-park in Vermont and consists of an alumi-num framed glass structure with an oper-able polycarbonate roof. Designed and erected by oakville-based openAire Inc., the new attraction will be the largest that openAire has built in North America– measuring 140ft. wide and 280ft. long and 43ft. high at the sidewalls. The design also includes a curved cupola at the apex that allows for the 55ft. high slide tower. plus, the structure can handle 80 lbs. psf of snow load, which is a vital design feature for Jay peak, located in a region of the US with a higher snowfall than some Rocky

mountain ski resorts. The retractable roof has a number of

eco-friendly benefits, all of which offer en-ergy and cost savings in comparison with traditionally built waterparks:

• When the weather is warm enough to retract the roof, fresh air naturally floods the building, with the interior humidity be-ing exhausted through the open roof. This means mechanical systems that typically control the atmosphere aren’t required when the roof is open, resulting in tremen-dous energy savings.

• The enclosure, with its polycar-bonate roof and insulated glass sides, lets in plenty of sunlight, which saves money on lighting. Even on the darkest, cloudiest days, there’s no need to turn lights on, and that translates to huge energy savings.

• The building’s frame is all alumi-num and is 100% recyclable, so construc-tion leaves a smaller carbon footprint.

other green features include a com-mon boiler system for the hotel and water-park, using reject heat from the ice arena, waterless urinals, and heat exchangers for the waterpark and hotel.

The Aqualoop will be the flagship ride of the waterpark – the second one in-stalled indoors in the world and the first in North America. Jay peak picked the Aqualoop because they thought it “aligned well with the unique and, at times, extreme

High-Profile: Educational Facilities Development News

watertown, mA - After six months of collaborating with students and higher education professionals, cannistraro is of-ficially announcing the completion of its first-ever, student-run building information modeling (BIm) project.

Designed as a unique, multidis-ciplinary co-op experience, the project brought together students from wentworth Institute of Technology with backgrounds in architecture, mechanical engineering, and facilities management with the com-mon goal of creating an accurate BIm of a facility plant.

Students worked together to interpret existing conditions using point-cloud data from a laser scan as well as field surveying and measurement. Each student involved in the project gained hands-on field expe-rience, participated on a project team, and

learned various software platforms that enable accurate building information mod-eling. The project also involved generous contributions from technology partners Imaginit Technologies and feldman pro-fessional land Surveyors, which provided the students with the laser scanning and point cloud tools needed for modeling an existing facility.

“This project represents a valuable learning opportunity for our students and further reinforces the importance of inter-disciplinary education,” said greg Denon, director of career services at wentworth Institute of Technology. “cannistraro is an incredible organization with a long track record of employing and mentoring went-worth students on co-op, as well as our graduates.”

weston, mA - The start of school vacation kicked off construction of a two-story addition to weston high School by waltham-based cTA construction co. Inc. The project will expand and modernize the science labs and classrooms and will be completed in three phases to minimize school-year disruptions.

The 27,000sf addition, combined with the renovation of existing rooms, will result in new, larger science labs and re-furbished classrooms, as well as space for storage and preparation.

The wing and renovation, a $9.3 mil-lion project, will be built to the standards of the lEED Silver level.

CTA also is installing a fire sprinkler system throughout the high school.

The weston high School project will be completed in three phases, starting with construction of as much of the new addition as possible during the summer months. The second phase will be completing the addi-tion during the school year with disruptions minimized by keeping construction activ-ity within the new wing.

The addition is scheduled for com-pletion in June 2012.

Renovation of the existing space – the third phase – will take place during the summer of 2012, and the entire facility is scheduled for use by fall of 2012.

cambridge, mA - ARc/Architectural Resources cambridge and The forsyth In-stitute announced that the recent 65,000sf renovation of the institute’s new headquar-ters and research facilities in cambridge has received LEED Silver certification.

The forsyth Institute, an independent oral health research or-ganization dedicated to advancing human health and well being through scientific discovery and education, relocated its corporate headquarters to cambridge in the fall of 2010, marking the institute’s first move since its founding in 1910 in the Back Bay/fenway area. forsyth sold its former build-ing at 140 The fenway in Boston to the mu-seum of fine Arts, Boston in 2007, remain-ing there as a tenant while completing its search for optimal physical facilities.

forsyth began the green building pro-cess by selecting a new location close to multiple means of public transportation and community services. The design team, led by ARc, developed sustainable goals to re-use existing materials, walls, and mechani-cal systems within the renovated spaces and continued the process by integrating key green building features into the project. The building process included recycling more than 80% of construction waste materials.

for new building materials, the design team incorporated Energy Star equipment, energy-efficient light fixtures and occupancy

sensors to conserve energy; low-flow plumb-ing fixtures to save water; and low-emitting finish materials to produce a healthy work-ing environment. forsyth continued the sus-tainable process even after occupying their new home by ensuring that green cleaning practices would be used in the building and

by incorporating educational signage to in-form the general public of the sustainable building practices.

Spread out over four floors, the proj-ect includes expansive laboratory and sup-port space, a vivarium, multiple conference rooms, offices, and two research dental clin-ics.

ARc worked closely with the en-tire forsyth faculty and staff to complete programming and organization of the new spaces. Throughout the process, spaces were created to reinforce the goal to foster collaboration in the research process, pro-viding areas for meeting and interaction, in-cluding a central circulation stair linking the three research floors. The reuse of existing conditions were carefully coordinated to de-velop a cost-efficient solution while creating an entirely new planning concept and a new design aesthetic.

Northampton, mA – old-castle precast delivered 176 cus-tom designed precast footings to Renewable Sales, llc to com-plete the construction of the larg-est photovoltaic solar system to date, in the city of Northampton, at the Smith Vocational and Agri-cultural high School.

The 108-kilowatt solar ar-ray, built on the school’s old tennis courts, is composed of 88 solar arrays, which incorporate approximately 500-solar panels that will reduce energy use by 20% annually after its completion in September. The system’s pan-els can be tilted at different angles to capture the most sunlight, depending on the time of year.

Renewable Sales, llc contracted oldcastle precast, Inc.-Rehoboth to custom manufacture the at-grade precast ballasted footings for its solar arrays.

Renewable Sales, llc needed spe-cial footings to ground-mount its solar ar-rays due to the ground conditions at the site. oldcastle precast provided precast expertise and custom designed an at-grade precast ballasted footing for the gEmINI pV ground mount System.

The ballasted footings are inde-pendent, precast concrete footings for ground mounted solar electrical systems. They are engineered to work in virtually any location, environment, or application

conditions, including variations in wind speed, tilt angle, support and racking con-figuration, solar module size, weight, local design codes, and project requirements.

This type of precast solar array foun-dation is designed for use in the most de-manding solar panel applications where the panels need to be secured in unstable, environmentally sensitive, or impenetrable ground conditions or where a nonpenetrat-ing solution is required. These footings are also designed for relocation and reuse.

The roughly $500,000 project at Smith Vocational is being funded from two sources – 55% from a low-interest clean Renewable Energy Bond and 45% from a state green communities grant.

Boston - mayor menino, the BRA and the city of Boston park’s Department joined Harvard University officials and the Allston community on June 7 to celebrate the opening of library park.

The new city park is located behind the honan-Allston Branch of the Boston Public Library. Harvard and City officials, park architects, and Allston residents lauded the new green extension of the library and the collaborations that made it possible.

once part of the original charles River marshland, and later the site of the

mcNamera concrete company, the 1.74-acre of land, has been re-imagined as a natural, sustainable park. The creation of the green space is in accord with the com-munity’s desire for a unique and quiet park for residents of all ages.

library park offers a variety of spac-es and experiences for visitors, including a tiered area for reading and small classes; a hill with views of Allston and cambridge; a circular event lawn; a rain garden; and a quarter-mile of paths that weave through mostly native deciduous trees and lawns.

by Peter J. Davey There are at least 10 lEED credits ap-

plicable to window film retrofits. They fall within four categories: Energy & Atmo-sphere, materials & Resources, Indoor Envi-ronmental Quality and Innovation & Design

process. further infor-

mation is available on the USgBc website (www.usgbc.org).

manufacturer’s authorized window film dealers can pro-vide you with writ-ten documentation on their lEED credited window films and how their specific films

meet lEED requirements. following are ex-amples of lEED credits along with an expla-nation of how window film may apply.

Energy & Atmosphere, credit 1, opti-mize Energy performance

Intent: To achieve increasing levels of energy performance to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with exces-sive energy use.

This credit is worth more points than any other lEED credit section. There are three methods for satisfying this require-ment.

The first, Whole Building Energy Sim-ulation (1-10 pts), requires use of an energy simulation program that includes the ability to model different building shapes, skylights, hVAc systems and weather attributes. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends the use of Energy plus algorithm based energy simulation programs, such as Efilm, that al-low input of variable data to more accurately predict energy usage and savings before and after window film retrofits.

- The second, prescriptive compli-ance path AShRAE Advanced Energy De-sign Guide for Small Office Buildings 2004 (1-4pts), is applicable to office buildings less than 20,000 square feet. This method lists prescriptive glazing requirements including shading coefficients and U-value specifica-tions per climate zone. Your window film dealer can provide specifications for their qualifying window films.

- The third method, prescriptive com-pliance path Advanced Buildings core per-formance (2-5 pts), is applicable to buildings

less than 100,000 square feet and that comply with the prescriptive measures identified in the Advanced Buildings™ core performance™ guide developed by the New Buildings In-stitute. Certain window films apply because glazing is the most energy inefficient part of a building envelope and significant advance-ments have been to window film products to lower the solar heat gain coefficient and U values of windows. The credit states that its purpose is to conserve resources, building stock, and reduce waste and environmen-tal impacts. Window films reduce heat gain in warmer months and heat loss in colder months. They are designed specifically to retrofit existing windows – upgrading them to achieve similar solar performance as new windows. Thus, a window film retrofit diverts large quantities of windows from the waste/recycling stream and reduces environmental costs of shipping waste and/or new windows to destination sites.

Indoor Environmental Quality, credit 7.1 Thermal comfort

Intent: To provide a comfortable ther-mal environment that supports the productiv-ity and well being of building occupants.

The credit states that a building must be designed in accordance to AShRAE 55-2004. There are many variables that deter-mine occupant comfort, but window films will apply in the area of thermal comfort. The optimal temperature for thermal comfort according to AShRAE 55-2004, ranges be-tween 67 and 83 degrees fahrenheit, depend-ing on air speed and humidity ratios. window films have shown in case studies that they will reduce the temperature of an area in di-rect sunlight and help balance building tem-perature. often, early morning east-facing tenants complain of heat and glare, while opposite-facing tenants have their heat and lights on. By minimizing the amount of solar gain through windows, window films can aid in meeting the thermal comfort credit.

Above are just two descriptions out of at least ten applicable lEED credits to which qualifying window films can apply. As feder-al and municipal demands to improve the en-ergy efficiency of all buildings rise, it is time to look at all options available to conserve…including window film retrofits.

oaks Bluff, mA – martha’s Vine-yard hospital, a partner’s healthcare af-filiate, recently celebrated the award of LEED Gold Certification by the US Green Building council for the construction of its new green Replacement hospital. working closely with the architect, Thomas, miller & partners, as well as the hospital, co-lumbia construction captained the entire lEED process.

“what really led to the success of achieving lEED gold on this project was the fact that the hospital in addition to the island community were very committed to sustainability from day-one,” said Neil lemieux, director of preconstruction at columbia construction company. “with the island’s limited natural resources, the hospital and local community were com-mitted to various conservation measures and helped drive the sustainability strategy on this project from the beginning – it was really a true team effort.”

with this lEED gold award, mar-tha’s Vineyard hospital is the only lEED gold hospital in the commonwealth of

massachusetts according to the US green Building council’s database.

martha’s Vineyard hospital’s new 90,000sf facility opened in the summer of 2010 and features two floors of efficient, centralized, state-of-the-art services and technology and includes operating rooms, a medical/surgical unit, intensive care unit, physical therapy department, emergency de-partment, and medical imaging/laboratories.

Sustainable building elements in-clude an array of over 200 solar photovol-taic panels that provide the hospital with 45 kilowatts of power. other features include a rooftop healing garden which functions as a wellness area for patients. The lEED gold facility also includes multiple water saving and energy-saving technologies, which resulted in 36% and 25% respective savings. In addition, over 80% of the waste generated during the demolition and con-struction of this project was diverted from landfills, and 41 % of building materials and supplies were purchased from compa-nies located within 500 miles of the project site.

princeton, NJ - Dynamic Air Quality Solutions has been selected as a US green Building council (USgBc) Education provider.

The USgBc has approved the techni-cal and instructional quality of Dynamic’s course for 1.5 gBcI cE hours toward the lEED credential maintenance program. Dynamic’s course – “IAQ, Air cleaning and Energy” – examines the evolution of indoor air quality (IAQ).

The primary function of an hVAc system is to provide an environment with acceptable temperature, humidity, and con-taminant levels. Dynamic’s seminar will focus on the basic fundamentals of IAQ, including the importance of IAQ, the costs associated with it, and various technologies for helping achieve optimal IAQ within commercial buildings.

what is acceptable indoor air quali-ty? According to ANSI/AShRAE Standard 62.1-2010 it is, “Air in which there are no known contaminants at harmful concentra-tions as determined by cognizant authori-ties and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not express dissatisfaction.”

During the hour and a half course, at-tendees will learn what is acceptable IAQ as well as to identify fundamental parame-ters relating to airborne pollutants, compare the role of air cleaning technologies and ventilation in achieving good IAQ, apply IAQ strategies to real-world applications in LEED certified buildings, and develop IAQ strategies based on energy consump-tion and operating cost savings
